Hello, Everyone.

Location: Ontario, Canada
Current Vehicle: 2015 Jeep JK Sahara 2DR
Overlanding Experience: Beginner

I've always been an outdoorsy type, I think overlanding is really neat and definitely something that has perked my interest over the years but never had a vehicle that would be capable for it. I am a complete beginner but look forward to learning more about it so I can get out exploring safely.
Greetings Amanda, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hello, Jon in Indianapolis. 2023 Ridgeline (garage queen for now) and a diy overlanding trailer with roof tent. And I already have a question haha! Anyone recognize the suspension on my trailer? I did not build it but was told it is a Ford auto suspension (Escort perhaps?) Just so I can refresh bushings, shocks, springs, hubs etc. as necessary.

Hi All,

Just purchased a 2002 Ford E350, 6.8L V10 camper van with Quigley 4x4 conversion. I live in Sacramento, CA. I'm completely new to this and looking forward to doing some camping off the beaten path. If you're in the Sacramento area and want to get together for a light trail ride or a short camping trip, please let me know.

Cheers!
Sean
